THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SPORT

HORSES, HEROES AND GODFREY

Amid trumpets and top hats the nation's best horses and riders entered into competition on the East and West coasts. San Francisco's Cow Palace echoed to the hoofs of quick cutting ponies and crack Chilean cavalry, while New York's Madison Square Garden offered the glitter of high society, a TV star in a new role and a heroic Mexican veteran of international jumping

Courageous Competitor, General Humberto Mariles of Mexico won faultless classes in Garden despite painful broken coccyx.

Top-Hatted Officials Whitney Stone, Andrew M. Montgomery and General Alfred G. Tuckerman watch National in New York.
